Democrats will 'abolish' suburbs, lie Mark & Patricia McCloskey of St. Louis, who pointed guns at BLM protesters

At the RNC tonight, Patricia McCloskey, who is the lady half of a notorious St. Louis couple who pointed guns at BLM protesters, says Democrats want to "abolish" the suburbs. She goes on to praise impeached U.S. President Donald Trump for pushing against "low quality apartments" and crime.

They're talking about non-white people. They are referring to policies to end segregation.

This is just nuts. This couple were made #RNCConvention2020 speakers because they pointed guns at peaceful protestors marching down their street.

The McCloskeys core argument, though, was about "government overreach".

The debate over housing is a complicated one – with many Republicans mistrusting public housing as something that creates, not takes away, poverty.

But that is different from what was just said.

So Black people bring crime to the suburbs? That's what the racist gun owners just told their fellow racists at the #RNC2020 #ThePurge

The McCloskeys just made one of the most racist appeals to fearful white voters that I've seen since Pat Buchanan's infamous 1992 culture war speech.

St. Louis couple seen on video pointing guns at protesters marching by their mansion speak at the #RNC2020.

"What you saw happen to us could just as easily happen to any of you who are watching from quiet neighborhoods around our country," they say. https://t.co/ny9cCf7Qrp pic.twitter.com/uj9eau7zsF
